Industrial CO2 Lasers

Industrial CO2 Lasers

Cost-effective laser-cutting machines are synonymous with state-of-the-art CO2 laser oscillators. As a leader in industrial lasers, GE Fanuc provides the laser oscillator, CNC, and servo drives as one highly integrated package designed to enhance processing and cutting rates with intelligent routines. Our capabilities include most cutting applications such as cutting of mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Product Details

As the leading manufacturer of CNCs and servo motors, GE Fanuc offers a "laser-package” solution. Laser source, CNC and servo motors are integrated and interfaced as a complete system to optimize the machine performance.

All necessary laser control and diagnostics are integrated into the CNC. The laser source does not need a separate control. It communicates with the CNC by means of an optical bus system.

Advantages
  • Very efficient start-up of laser machines. Interface problems are already solved ex-factory. No additional work to establish communication between CNC and laser source is necessary. All laser control screens are available on the CNC.
  • Direct control of the laser source by the CNC allows simplified handling for operation and maintenance purposes. Special functions can be activated by digital switches. Laser parameters can be filled in by direct CNC commands. Upgrading the laser source with new functions can be realized by a simple software update.
  • Control of laser and machine are always synchronized as this is carried out by only one processor. With this realtime connection between laser and CNC, many special functions, which represent a lot of expert laser application knowledge, are integrated into the laser package. Also, extremely high-speed cutting, for example when used with linear motors, can be achieved.
  • Machine tool builders and users have only one contact for laser source, CNC and servo motors. GE Fanuc’s worldwide presence guarantees local access to application and service support.
